Myhummy

My LO (little one) had the Ewan the sheep when she was younger and it really helped, it then broke and as she was settling at night well, I didn’t bother to replace it.
Now is a different story! She’s definitely hit the fourth month slee regression and is sleeping awfully, much like a newborn, perhaps even worse than she ever did!
I like the idea of the myhummy as I read it can sense when a baby is going to wake up
And starts the white noise again... anyone with a myhummy, is this true?! Can’t imagine how that would work! And would you recommend it; they’re more expensive than Ewan so don’t want to splurge on it if it won’t work.

My lo sleeps reasonably well, goes down for the night between 8.30-9.30 and then will wake for one feed at 3.30/4 then back asleep until 7ish. However her sleep after 3.30/4 is often quite restless as she has trapped wind as usually doesn’t get up any burps during the feed(no matter how long I sit her up for or put her on my shoulder) as is too sleepy so I bought a hummy to see if it would help and i think it has (only been using it the last 3 nights) as she seems in a more restful sleep with it on. I have it on the waves noise and have it quite low but I myself find the sound very soothing when falling asleep. The most useful thing about it for us is during her day time naps it helps drown out the noise of her older sister who is three and doesn’t thread lightly around the house 🤣

I had Ewan and didn’t think it helped at all, so I bought my hummy after being initially hesitant because of the price. I can safely say it has made NO difference to her sleep and was a completely waste of money. I believe that unless you use these aids from birth and use them religiously they don’t work, I only used it at night times and it does sense any noise and starts playing the white noise but she would still wake up with it, I don’t use it at all now! I use nothing and she’s naturally found her way, no lights at night time has been my rule and seems to work x

I bought one out of desperation as sometimes baby will fall asleep when playing white noise and I liked the sound of the sleep sensor (although we’ve had it on the continuous 12hr setting). Sleep is worse than ever here - 2 hours is a good stint👎🏼 So I’d try it on iPad or phone first then invest if that works.

We had a Ewan and it didn’t last long enough, got MyHummy and it’s amazing. So much better than Ewan. It is on for an hour then fades out and starts back up again as soon as it hears baby start to wake and sets them back to sleep. It also has a continuous 12 hour mode which is good for more difficult sleep periods. My boy goes to bed wide awake, I put him in his sleeping bag, put MyHummy on, say night night, leave the room and he’s asleep within 2-5 mins and I really think it’s because of MyHummy. It may not work for all babies but its definitely worth a try xx

I would try white noise on a free app first, then consider MyHummy if LO (little one) is a responder. I bought one as hairdryer noise really helps LO (little one) settle, and once we started putting her up in her crib for naps I didn't want to have to leave my phone there with her.

I have myhummy and Ewan leave hummy on all night and yes it does sense her stiring then we turn Ewan on as well when we feed it's just something wev3 always done.cant say it's helping as were in a regression but it helps mask out her noises and hubbys snoring ha

Your growing child

5 month old, third week

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking moving things. At this point, he may be able to recognise an object after seeing only part of it, like his favourite toy peeking out from under the couch. Read More

6 month old, first week

There could be great excitement this month if your baby cuts her first tooth. Usually one of the front teeth in the bottom jaw puts in an appearance, followed by its neighbour and then the two top front teeth. Read More

6 month old, second week

Your baby may favour one hand for a while and then switch to the other. But you can't really tell whether he's a lefty or a righty until he's about two or three years old. Don't try to influence your baby's hand preference. Read More
